Where Halloween Comes From

Tootsie Roll Industries

Growing up, Halloween really boils down to one event: trick-or-treating.
And without the candies made by the Chicago-based Tootsie Roll
Industries, treat bags would be a lot less festive
-- and sugar-coated. It's hard to imagine Halloween without a hearty
helping of Dots, Dubble Bubble, Blow Pops, Junior Mints and, of course,
Tootsie Rolls (and Tootsie Roll Pops). Tootsie Roll Industries
manufactures their candies throughout North America, though most are
made in the U.S.A.
